Republican leaders in the room 'shell-shocked' following Trump deal with Democrats

Somebody please explain this weird occurrence. This is an example of true political madness

I don’t know whether it’s good, bad or ugly.

Trump a his best worst or in-between

President Donald Trump surprised the leaders of his own party in Congress on Wednesday when he backed a deal pushed by Democrats to attach hurricane
relief money to a shorter-term bump in the debt ceiling as well as keeping the government open, cutting off his own Treasury secretary to strike a
deal.

The decision was one of the most fascinating and mysterious moves he's made with Congress during eight months in office.
The remarkable turn of events left Republican congressional leaders, in control of both chambers of the legislative branch, "shell-shocked" and
"visibly annoyed," and showcased how a President who also authored "The Art of the Deal" actually cuts one.

The Republicans wanted a long term deal and the Democrats, Pelosi and Schumer, a short deal and Trump sided with the democrats!

Trump's stunning agreement to endorse a plan proposed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi came during a
Wednesday morning meeting with leaders from both parties in the Oval Office, the first such meeting of Trump's presidency.
Several Republicans briefed on the meeting said that Trump, who has been absent a major legislative achievement for his first seven months in office,
was hungry for a deal.

Schumer and Pelosi are both agenda-driven and this is likely a setup... not sure why Trump would do this when both of them have been extremely
outspoken and opposed to everything they think Trump "stands for".

George Soros' son, Alex has posted pictures of his luncheons with Chuck Schumer (as recently as a few weeks ago) using the hashtag #NeverTrump

NEITHER the Dems nor Republicans can seem to get anything done, but to me it seems like Trump is shooting himself in the face

I applaud him for getting this done in a hurry for all Americans in need in Texas. Frankly if those lazy arse Republicans got off their arses and
actually did some good for this country rather than just spouting platitudes during election cycles, this country could be operating better all the
way around.

Im no fan of the Dems, but the Republicans in office have lost my vote going forward, just for being good for nothing,,,hell Id move to Arizona just
to NOT vote for that wanker McCain.

I think you need to work with whichever party is going to help you get things done. Trump is really more of a Democrat than a Republican...especially
on social issues. I applaud him for trying to work both sides of the aisle.

Texas voted for Trump. They need hurricane relief. No time to eek out a cheap deal and save money when the state requires expedite help.

Don't have to waste time fighting over the budget all year.

Plus you don't want the douche bag Democrats convincing morons that Trump doesn't care after he spent a lot of time over there surveying the damage.
The Democrats probably didn't think Trump would actually go along with their deal. Trump might have blind sided them along with some Rino's.

Trump is more pissed off with the Republicans than he is with the Democrats.

They've been blocking him at every turn and this sends a pretty strong message back to Congress that they thought they were going to win back Trump
supporters by 'negotiating' with the Democrat leaders and 'strike a deal' showing how 'it's done'.

I think Trump just wanted to get some relief down to Texas. If it required agreeing to a short-term bump in debt ceiling, the so be it. The Dems get
what they want and he gets what he wants. The RINOs are left wondering what happened.

Trump just wants sh*t done. I don't think he really gives a duck a bought the politics. The only people that have egg on their face are the
establishment Republicans as he is constantly exposing them as the fakers they are.

A lot of us have been trying to tell progressives, that Trump is a third party candidate. The RINOs hate him just as much as Democrats and are just
as much of a barrier.
